Welcome to Gaia! ::

Matasoga was in terror of he idea of being stuck with Alexx and this was to be avoided at all costs. The only one that he had spoken to in class that he hadn't regretted speaking with was Pheobe. He quickly looked to her and said, "Would you care to be my partner?"
He was also rather enthused about learning such a fascinating spell with such possibilities. He was also eager to advance in level, power, and ability. He had high ambitions for the power that he wanted to amass. Some of it was racial, some of it militant, and some of it arcane.

He nodded, rather than smiled. He didn't want to give the wrong impression. He was more interested in the curriculum than his peers, though it had not ceased to be true that she was a much preferable choice for a partner than the others.
He silently watched the others and held his movements, awaiting further instruction from the teacher or actions from his peers before beginning. He assumed that they would be casting the spell on each other, but it would have been foolish, to his thinking, to move ahead with such an assumption uninstructed.

『Alexx looked around, and saw that Matasoga and Mel already partner up...』
Lets see... She thought to herself. With New guy out with Mel, and Kristalee; who hates me, out puking, and Stephan out with Kristalee, that leaves me with... She looked around the class room, and saw one guy, who seemed to be not paying attention. She sighed, and turned her body towards the guy... Who she had no idea was..."Hey, dude," She called out, trying to attract his attention. "Looks like we're partners by default." She said, obviously annoyed... She turned back towards the front of the classroom, and leaned an elbow on her desk, and started to rub her temples quietly... She was getting really annoyed today...

"...I'm ready to give my life to service you."

☠ ☠ ☠

『Alexx looked up from her brooding, and saw that the guy had moved closer to her...』
She sighed, and rolled her eyes. He was trying to be nice... She hated when people tried to be nice to her..."The name's Alexx, kid... Alexx Bane, school of death. And now, I guess I have to ask... Whats your school?"She asked, not sounding very interested with what ever his answer was going to be...

"...I'm ready to give my life to service you."

Mrs. Tundra sensed the tension in the classroom, and quickly tried to avoid it turning into anger. "Okay, so who would like to present the spell to the class first? If someone doesn't volunteer, I will gladly pick a group." She smiled. The classroom was big enough to do such a spell.

Melanie gave Matasoga a nod of permission, then looked for confirmation by the teacher. Better to do this sooner than later. As she waited, she tried to ready herself for the impact of the spell. She wasn't afraid of being killed, but it was better to squeeze in some defensive practice when she could. There was no telling when the next battle might start.

Matasoga took his place at the front, assuming that it was acceptable to start whenever he was ready. As a courtesy, he waited for his partner to brace herself, again.

Matasoga closed his eyes, trying to remember in exact detail the exact somatic components of the spell. He felt the arcane glands that produced his breath weapon tighten and contract as the energies flowed through him.
He fought against this. This is supposed to be about wizardry, study, and books, not natural talent, draconic blood, and sorcery, he thought. He stood for a few long seconds, forcing those glands to relax and visualized the arcane energies flowing down from his mind, visualizing diagrams and arcane theorums. He could not simply let the spell happen as he always has. Not if he was to progress as a wizard.
With a deep breath and calculated movements, ending with the ball top of the 3 and a half foot wand (which he grasped like a staff and was not strictly necessary) pointed at the target he made the spell happen.
